This was a movie about waving a lesson in your face, neigh, SHOVING it in your face and if you ignore the super-secret-encoded message about apartheid it is a movie about getting gay with aliens the likes of which have not been seen since ET (queue boos!).

This movie is preachy which i don't like, the animation is sub-par and mostly wasted simply on the aliens, ship or ghettos, the battle scenes are brief or so sudden they are nearly non-existent and the protagonist's position makes NO sense, there was no character development leading up to him changing his mind, he just gets turned into an alien with some fucking crazy alien magic and then fucking poof, empathy for aliens.

BULLSHIT I SAY

BULLSHIT

You make the ending to your preachy movie a preachy cliché??? really??? best of 2009? alright, maybe, 2009 sucked pretty hard but still.

I loved this movie, but I have to agree with ol' spoony on the documentary to action flick shift thang. I just think that it would have benn a better film had it stuck to that documentary feel. However, don't you think that it may have suffered as a 'blockbuster' (not sure 30mill qualifies as a blockbuster..) if it had not had the dramatic, robo-suit wearin, balls to the wall action hollywood ending. Great film, if flawed.

p.s. FFX ruined the series, VII was just ok, X was diabolically bad.

p.p.s. Love the spoony, who would win in a fight though? Spoony vs. Angry Joe!

Sorry, didn't mean to “like” you're comment.

The protagonist is bigoted till the end of the movie, where he is very suddenly feeling empathy for ONE alien. He doesn't have an unrealistic change of heart, and that make's him a great character. Humans have a tendency to not know what living thing they care about until it is about to die.

Great movie.

South African is just as savage or even more so. Google white farmer murders. At 2005 over 2,000 of these farmers have been killed, ranging from infants having their heads bashed in, the wife being raped and the husband being hacked to death. This continues 'til this day, all pushed by Robert Mugabe the leader of ANC. africancrisis. co. za/Article.php?ID=47276& (I had to add spaces as links seem to be blocked.) BE WARNED!!!! I can't stress this enough. There are pics and they are VERY graphic.
